CJS 234 Institutional Corrections

This course is designed to attain a higher level of information literacy about jails and prisons than was presented in CJS 110. The course addresses the major issues historically and currently shaping how incarceration serves the punishment goals of retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, and reintegration through prison and jail programming, population control strategies, administrative procedures, and community transition programs. Course learning activities focus on the application and influence of European political philosophers and religious Quakers on the American use of prisons. Fall
